When is it suitable to not give 100% concentration whilst operating something that could kill you or others?
I'm speechless really. I did not expect to hear that excuse on a bike site.
This attitude is exactly what cagers come out with shortly after they run over a biker and kill him then rock up in court saying the phone was in my lap on handsfree so it wasn't really distracting me, or I was in traffic so I didn't think I needed to watch the road and the biker just appeared out of nowhere.
I shit you not there is a case all over facebook at the moment about this and I find the attitude of 'driving does not always require 100% concentration' unbelievable - even more so from a biker.
